Nowadays, more and more people, men and women
alike, are career-driven and would like to move up the corporate ladder. Gone
are the days when you content to just bring home the bacon. Now, you want to be
able to bring home the pig and then some.

In order to start your way
up the corporate ladder, though, there are three lines that you should not use.

First,
stay away from the lines, "this is how we've always done it" or
"in my previous company, this is how we did it." There is nothing
wrong with following best practices and there is nothing wrong with learning
from previous experiences, as long as they do not stop you from recognizing new and
better ways to perform on the job. One scenario that is always given is about
tying one's shoe laces. When you were young, your parents taught you how to tie
your laces and this is something you carried with you until now. Now, however,
it is advisable to double knot your laces. So, while you've been tying your
laces the same way all your life, it is better to double knot. It will stay
tied longer.

You
should also be careful about saying "I don't have time ... " Time
management is very important in order for you to succeed in the corporate
world. Along with managing your time, you should learn to choose
your battles. You cannot make time for
everything, but you should make time for
battles you can win and delegate other tasks to those who can do well in it.
This also means that you should know your strengths and how to use them to your
advantage.

Finally,
how many times have you said "I can't do that" without first trying
the task? Most of the time, you shy away from the unknown. On the other hand,
you can only learn new things if you explore beyond your comfort zone. So, the
next time you feel like saying, "I can't do that," try saying
"let's try it" and see how much further you can push yourself and you
never know, you just might surprise
yourself too.

It takes
work for you to be able to work your way up the corporate ladder. If you are
not comfortable of reaching beyond your usual ways or stretching yourself
further, it will be much harder and will take longer for you to get to the top.

Okay so it's no secret some celebs change their hair color what seems like every day. Others change their hair cut or sometimes add extensions. For us "normal" people we don't have the money to spend on these sorts of things and if we do like "normal"people our hair can definitely suffer the consequences of such frequent/drastic changes.

Let's take for instance the lovely and very over talked about Kim K. One day she was platinum blonde (which I'd have to say was not a good look for her) and the next day she was back to brown. Now I think it's safe to say even though some assume it had to be a wig others believe she dyed her hair either way I'm pretty sure it wasn't some $50 wig from a hair boutique.

Other celebs have actually fessed up to having caused hair loss due to the constant dying. For example Ariana Grande. She has admitted that because of the constant dying red of her hair she dealt with thinning hair and committed to extensions and the high pony that has become kind of like her brand.

Now she may be able to spend limitless money on these sorts of things but for us when we damage our hair our hands can be tied in the choices we have at that point.

For some they could be lucky enough to just need a fresh cut and let their hair rest while for others, well if they were to cut their hair they'd be praying every night for it grow back. Luckily for those folks, with the technological advances of today this doesn't have to be the end all be all for their hair.

With products like Rogaine, Keranique and countless vitamins like Hairfinity, along with procedures like hair transplants from companies like Bosley their are cost effective options for "normal" people to fight the battle of hair loss whether we cause it ourselves or have no choice in the matter.

About Me

It's funny I always have something to say expect for in this section. I'm not sure what to put besides the fact that I'm very opinionated and not in an abrasive way in a comical way. I like to make light of dark situations and try to find the silver linings in gray, rain clouds. I also like to share information with others that may be interested in it.
